Getting pissed does not mean you are a good coach. But name a coach that never gets pissed and is top shelf.
Whatever you come up with I can name many more that do get pissed as I have already done.
Getting pissed is not automatically a bad thing.

Part of my perspective is that I don't think Richt & Co. left the cupboard very well stocked.
I keep reading this, but I can't agree. We have had top 5-10 recruiting classes for quite a few years. While we have lost several highly rated players, for the most part, they have not panned out anyway and we didn't lose anyone of note the last two years. I think we are in as good a shape as we have ever been. And lets face it....those that wanted Richt gone argued he was not good, because the east is down and anybody could/should win 10 games. I know tennessee is better and Florida seems to be coming back, but South Carolina and Missouri have taken huge steps backward.
I'll be disappointed if we don't win 10 games, but I certainly won't be calling for Smart's head if we don't. We have to give him 4-5 years in my opinion.

That's silly. You want fire? Hire Muschamp. He'll give you plenty of fire. Whether or not a coach shows cool or fire makes no difference in whether or not he is a good coach.

FIFY
Why don't we wait and go with the coach that wins games? That might be a better indicator of whether someone is a good coach or not.

Yep, I'm ready for one to see some emotion from the coach on the sidelines and by that I mean head coach. I'm not saying Richt isn't emotional, but damn how many times could you spot Richt on the sideline with the lack of emotion that most other coaches would show. Also about the only time I saw him really get pissed was vs Auburn I think, when he said something to one of the refs, then got flagged for it.

Maybe Paterno kept his cool because he knew that Sandusky had something for him back at the house?

Seriously? We're going to joke about pedophilia now?

No, just counter pointing his use as a proof source for great coaches who kept their cool. Keeping a known pedophile on campus and allowing him to run a camp full of boys, by action or inaction makes Paterno a fricking count of a human and a disgrace to the profession....

I understand. but he was one of the winningest football coaches in the history of the game. Surely you aren't going to argue this point?

he was a disgrace as a human being for allowing Sandusky to do that. However, he was a great coach.
I guess my Tom Landry suggestion doesn't count? I mean...we can go back and forth all day, but it all boils down to this.....you don't have to show rage to be a great football coach. That does not make one great. There are plenty of great coaches that kept their cool. There are plenty of great football coaches that showed emotion. To say you have to rage along the sideline to be great is just.....a dumb thing for anyone to say.
ETA
Dawgonit didn't use Paterno as an example. I did. I reread and think you got confused.

Joe Gibbs - That's one
Lovie Smith - getting fired after 2 years with the Bucs does not a name a coach that never gets pissed and is top shelf.

Vince Dooley - didn't have to get pissed, Russell had enough piss for the whole state of GA
But let me get all this right. You are dissing Smart before he has coached a game and want richt back because of his placid demeanor?
Posted on 5/30/16 at 5:36 pm to WhopperDawg
Richt gets bewildered....and then calls for a pooch kick...
Kind of the same thing.

I've seen all those coaches get pissed. Some just more than others. I don't think either way is bad or good.

Agreed. And Richt has gotten upset, too. ALL coaches get mad, some just show it more than others. And, showing they are mad or hiding it does not make them a good coach, or a bad one. One of the greatest coaches in pro football never showed any emotion at all. On the other hand, one of the greatest coaches of all time in pro football showed a ton of fire. (Lombardi) Same could be said about some of the worst coaches....both ways. Had Will Muschamp been the coach at Georgia the past few years everybody would be saying we need a coach that keeps his cool under intense pressure and adversity.
I think some complain about the lack of fire with Richt because...well, they are just ready for a change. They need to understand and realize, though, that it will take more than just showing emotions to make Georgia go over the top.

And other coaches yell, complain and argue for one more second to be put back on the clock, then gets beat by a returned, missed field goal that costs them a National Championship. Can anybody on this board show me a coach that wouldn't take back some decision they have made?

No one has made anything like that statement.
The statement I made was most of the top shelf coaches were emotional. But being emotional did not a top shelf coach make. I stand by it.
You can dig up exceptions to anything. Dungy being one. Most of the better coaches are very driven, fiery, emotional guys. But that doesn't mean they all are.
